 P-36 Hawk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norway also ordered 36 Cyclone-powered Hawk 75A-8s, most of which were delivered to a Norwegian training base (established by the exile-governement in London and named "Little Norway") near Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as advanced trainers, until the USAAF recalled the aircraft in 1943, selling some to Curtiss and sending the remainder to Peru.
The Hawk was found to have lighter controls that the Spitfire at speeds over 300 mph (480 km/h) and especially in diving attacks, and easier to maneuver in a dogfight thanks to the less-sensitive elevator and better all-around visibility.
Hawk 75A-7 - version for Netherlands, diverted to Dutch East Indies after German occupation of the homeland, the aircraft suffered badly at the hand of advancing Japanese forces with all twenty destroyed by February 1942.

 HAWK 75:-- PROMISE UNFULFILLED?
The Hawks were thought to be suited for the recon role due to their fairly long range and 311 MPH speed, which was considered adequate for 1941.
The Hawk 75 saw combat with several air forces during WW II, but its use in adequate numbers, and over a sustained period of time, was limited to France, Finland and Burma.
Hawks arrived too late for the Winter War against the Soviet Union in 1939-40, but were in action for almost all of the "Continuation War" beginning 25 June 1941.

 Building the Hobbycraft P-36 / Hawk 75
From what I've seen, the fixed gear Hawks all had the Lug style, the USAAC P-36A and Cs all had the Lug style, the French aircraft had a mix, and Norwegian Hawk 75 A-8s/P-36Gs had the "bullet" style.
Most Hawks are going to have a natural metal prop with a black backside (to avoid the "strobe light" effect on the pilot.) Some may have been retrofitted with all0black props, but the metal is a safer bet.
Some hawks have the "full" lower gear doors, some have "shorts." (Obviously this doesn't matter with the fixed gear hawks!) USAAC aircraft tend to have the full doors, that cover part of the wheel.

And at Pearl Harbor, P-36s that had been relegated to gunnery training duty, armed with only one.30 caliber machine gun, were among the only US aircraft to take off and fight the Japanese, scoring several victories.

The Curtis P-36 Hawk, developed from the Curtiss "Hawk" Model 75 originally designed for France, was first produced for the Air Corps in 1938.
Export Hawk 75As were supplied to the French as 75A-1, A-2, A-3, and A-4s but most of them were transferred to Britain after the fall of France.
Both France and England used the Hawk 75A in combat over Europe in 1939 and 1940, even though the airplane was obsolescent when compared to its major adversary, the Messerschmitt 109.

There were many veteran pilots who reluctantly traded in their well-worn Hawks for the hotter planes, but the parting was with sweet sorrow.
When you see the movie "Tora, Tora, Tora," one would be excused for thinking the US Army Air Corps was led by a fleet of P-40 Warhawks.
The fact is that had the US naval and air fleets been on alert and launched on radar warning like it should have, it wouldn't have been fleets of P-40's that met the Japanese air armada.
